OP,

Guaranteed Future Value...

If you were a lending house, would you lend on that basis for people to purchase watches?

Top answer.

beer

But, honestly, what the fk - how stupid are some people?

I mean, it’s bad enough with people PCPing/renting/keeping up with the Jones’/not paying into their pensions etc with naff Landrovers/German “executive” ste cars

The thing is, someone like Watchfinder could probably bring this in and there's a good chance it would be successful.

Put £500 down on a Sub no date, borrowing £6.5k (grey prices) over 3 years at 6%.

Balloon of £3k would work out to £120 a month by my maths.

Not saying it's a good idea!

It probably would work, but dragging people into large amounts of debt for extravagant items is irresponsible.

I'd also guess that at the end of the 3 years there will be lots of damaged, lost and stolen watches. Missing people and untraceable watches too. laugh

Over £4500 to rent a watch for 3 years sounds crazy to me.

Not if you complete the purchase.

How would it work with something worth more at the end of the term....if you get a Daytona list of £10k, gfv £18k surely they pay you....?

Doesn't many of the big watch sellers already offer 0% finance? The banks also offer good loan rates. Personally I wouldn't be borrowing money for things like watches, but there is plenty of finance options out there.

If you need to buy a watch on a PCP agreement, and pay a good amount of interest, the real reason you've gone down that route is you couldn't afford it in the first place. Like cars I doubt many people have the balloon payment to settle the debt at the end either.

I think the big problem with PCP on watches is getting them back should the borrower default.

Cars are quite difficult to hide so finding one to repo is not that hard... so either the deposit has to be huge or only available to those with very good credit rating.

You really need the minute hand and the hour hand... The second hand isn't really much use....
